Yarn Jargon: WIP

I wrote a post about "frogging" a while back and a non-yarn reader pointed out that this was not a term familiar to her vocabulary. (Frogging=ripping out, unraveling, undoing all your knitted hard work. WAH!) So, here's another bit or yarn jargon for you: WIP, as in Work in Progress, an unfinished project that is still on the needles, or off the needles and waiting to be seamed or blocked. I usually have several WIPs at any given time. Some may be several years old, even. But here's a peek at a new project I'm working up in natural alpaca, two colors, that I've carded with a smidge of long wool from a sheep named Olivia.
